The Social Security Administration (SSA) will only issue Social Security numbers (SSN) and cards to those students who need one for employment purposes. You cannot qualify for a card as ID or in order to get a driver's license. You may only apply for a card if you meet one of the following conditions:

The office can be reached by public transportation by taking the WSSU Downtown Shuttle (leaving from RJR every hour on the hour from 9 to 4) or the WSTA lines 3, 26 or 30 to the Downtown bus station. From there, take the #23 bus to the Social Security stop.

**The SSA office if usually quite crowded, so give yourself adequate time to complete the process.
